#Crossiscoming!

Date: September 16, 2018

Event Address: Westover Park305 S Dogwood DrHarrisonburg, VA 22801

Our course features tight turns, off-camber sections, a steep run-up, barriers, some pavement, and a fun gravel climb! One of the best features of our course is how spectator friendly it is!

With the festival happening right in the city of Harrisonurg, you have quite a variety of options for checking out the shops, bars, breweries, and restaurants!

Making a weekend visit out of coming to the Festival? The riding options are endless! We have Hillandale Park just a few streets away from the race venue, the National Forest is just a thirty minute drive away, Massanutten Western Slope is close by as well, and it only takes a short mile to get out of the city and hit awesome country roads!

On Site Activities

Lil' Belgians Race!

We host a kids race at noon during the cross festival that is SO much fun! We have a small course set up that includes a section of the larger course. This is for pure enjoyment, and we are sure you will have a lot of fun seeing all the kids riding their bikes together!

Real Liège Style Belgian Waffles

These waffles are the bomb-diggity! Connor started making these for the 'cross race a few years ago, and it is one of the things we look forward to the most at the festival!

What makes these waffles so special? It is a specific Belgian style recipe that uses a yeast dough and tasty pearl sugar! Connor has perfected his recipe for these waffles, so we definitely recommend trying one!

Playground!

The Westover playground acts as our central hub for the event and offers a great place for your kids to have fun while the festival is taking place! The 'cross course runs right next to it, so it's also a great spot for spectating!
